Ep.66 – Don't Die of Dysentery

Oregon Trail (1971)

We look back at the original version of The Oregon Trail, released to a Minnesota school district mainframe in December of 1971. We talk about how The Oregon Trail first came to be, and then trace its evolution from that original version, through its most popular version (1985), and into changes that have been made to modern versions. We talk briefly about its spin-offs, and the Oregon Trail itself. Join us this week for a historically-accurate trip down Memory Card Lane.
